1st Annual Bite Global Warming Day – Success!

Concerned citizens around the U.S. eagerly got active for the first annual Bite Global Warming Day on August 18th. They set out to educate their communities about the imminent global warming crisis and how diet plays a critical role.

In honor of the occasion, FARM supplied volunteers with Event Packs containing “Stop Global Warming” posters, handouts, and leaflets. Activists distributed more than 10,000 handouts citing the 2006 UN Report, which states that meat production causes more greenhouse gases than automobiles! The colorful postcards offer recipients free Vegetarian Starter Kits and weekly recipes. Click here to request the cards for distribution.

In the nation’s capital, FARM hosted a feed-in and leafleting event at two locations, introducing DC dwellers to the many benefits and great flavors
of veg eating.

Equipped wearing “Global Warming Bites” T-shirts, FARM staff and volunteers offered samples of tasty meat-free and environmentally-friendly citrus “spare ribs.” The team also displayed large signs and distributed handouts, including “Stop Global Warming” postcards, UN Report leaflets, Vegetarian Starter Guides, and VegDC Dining Guides.

Thanks to the many volunteers who got active in their communities, an increasing number of people are learning about the impacts of their dietary choices on the environment.

Stay Active! Make everyday a Bite Global Warming Day by distributing our colorful postcards year-round. Be sure to jump on opportunities that arise… and right now an exciting one is here! With the release of Leonardo Dicaprio’s new film, The 11th Hour, many environmentally concerned people will flock to learn more about the issues – be sure to let them know about how meat production contributes to global warming! Click here to find out more about the film and when it will be playing in your area so you can distribute handouts to moviegoers.

Bite Global Warming Day is a highlight of FARM’s Bite Global Warming Campaign that uses billboards, posters, T-shirts, postcards, letters to the editor, and the Internet, all designed to expose the meat connection. The MySpace page now boasts 9,500 friends!
